dimensions for a Viking bow replica?

Jaro,
How long is the big bow between the nocks? 179cm? I'm making slow progress. Is there a picture of a replica with correct tiller I can work off of? I am basically going for the english war bow width taper with the tips and handles sized according to the specs in the above article. Should I go for a circular tiller with stiffer tips?

(Or better could be tilered there). They have width taper similar to later english warbows, which makes them circular in shape.

My mistake, you already answered my questions.
